<p>Platelets are small, potent blood cells.&nbsp; They control bleeding and heal damaged tissues.&nbsp; Platelets promote healing because they contain powerful, natural substances called<strong> GROWTH FACTORS.</strong></p> <p>Multiple growth factors (signaling proteins) are located in the alpha granules of platelets.&nbsp; Growth factors stimulate and accelerate new cell growth and blood vessel formation.&nbsp; They are released upon platelet activation.&nbsp; Some of the many growth factors released include platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor-&szlig; and insulin-like growth factor. <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> <strong>AUTOLOGOUS (one&rsquo;s own) </strong>platelets from the patient&rsquo;s blood are collected, anticoagulated (treated to prevent clotting) and spun down in a centrifuge to concentrate their numbers.&nbsp; It is from these autologous platelets that we produce platelet rich plasma and platelet gel.</p>
